California should learn from Texas on how to solve homeless people

[Crixus]

Good idea...but it wouldn't work in California the garbage men Unions would fight tooth and nail to save their 75 grand a year jobs. .



Fort Worth is paying their homeless to pick up trash. Should Houston follow suit?

An innovative program in Fort Worth is paying homeless people to pick up trash, NBC 5 reports.

The relatively new initiative called the Clean Slate Program is a joint effort between the city and a local homeless shelter.



"Our goal is to break the cycle of homelessness by providing steady employment that restores dignity and provides hope," details the shelter website.

Homeless guests at the shelter that pick up trash can earn $10 an hour.

The bums should be tossed in a hole and set on fire. Dallas has the right idea though. Houston is just clueless.

SINCE WHEN is picking up trash an ideal venture to provide "steady employment that restores dignity and provides hope" Seems kind of DEGRADING to me! Maybe asking for volunteers would be better and help for these poor people to get real work.

 

[Gracie]

But there for the grace of God goes any of you, who sit in judgement and claim most homeless are drunks or druggies. Until it has happened to you, STFU.

I think its a great idea- but it doesn't 'solve homeless people' as your title says- it employs 40 people in Houston.

And as pointed out- your claim that it couldn't happen in California was just your ignorance and bias speaking.

It was a FB thing posted it in the spirit of the other two threads, I got burned before I dug deeper..

Whatever makes ya feel better.

Knowing you guys are so obsessed with race that you can’t be honest…and I’m not one of you…makes me feel fucking spectacular.

LOL...I have several South American friends as well as African American friends....of course if I ever called em African Americans they'd be pissed as hell!!!
In fact I was engaged to a Hispanic girl named Linda.

Fuck you and your race card.

Fuck you and your politicizing of who litters and not.

I'm not politicizing anything dumbass.
I'm stating facts.

No fuckface…you said liberals or “libbies” littered.
Thus politicizing something totally apolitical.

Feel free to review the thread shit brains.

Libbies?
I have never used that term and I never will.
All I know is mexicans are trashing our outdoor areas and they tend to vote dem.
Find proof otherwise.

Half the people you see sleeping out side in cali are not homeless they just had to much to drink. The weather is pretty good out there not much feer of sleeping out side there. When I lived there if ya wnet to beach party and had to much to drink, fuck it sleep on he beach!

yea thats what it is....most are drunks....

Most people are one or two terrible decisions away from a radical change in their lives; for better or for worse. What money and to a lesser extent other resources be it influence, friends, position, or endowment do is cushion the blow of bad decisions. Once knew a woman who was a friend of my mother’s. Had a nice house, good husband, was doing very well. Hubby died (her 3rd—the other two died while on active duty in the military), was lonely, became friends with a Tennessee truck driver and decided to hit the road with him at the age of 55 or whatever she was. Sold her house that she owned free and clear. When he retired, she took her nest egg and bought a restaurant that lasted about 8 months. Last I heard she was living alone in Tennessee at an apartment above a florist shop, working there part time. IF she’s happy, fine….but had she not decided to cast her lot with the driver, she would probably still be living in the house and enjoying her children who all live not far from where they grew up.

Interesting. The homeless create a never ending job via their own garbage from what I can tell looking at California.

Don’t be silly….

We just heard for 8 years that government doesn’t create jobs.

They didnt create the jobs.
Scummy liberal litter bugs created the job.

So now you’re stating that conservatives don’t litter.
Litter is now politicized….

too damn funny

Meanwhile, when you are driving down Greenhouse and get to I-10; please tell us the race of the guys on the street corner holding the sign asking for a hand-out. Sometimes they are black. Seldom do you see Hispanics…mostly they are white.

Most mexicans are liberals so......

depends on the topic....many can be pretty conservative too....

Here is the quote of you making it political…

Scummy liberal litter bugs created the job.
As if Mexicans are responsible for all litter you fucking idiot.

As for the other point your bitch ass tried to make…how about this.

All I know is that other races/nationalities litter too…

Find proof that they do not fuck face.

And do you have a point (beside the one under your dunce cap)?

I see it all the time here in Texas.
They now charge 5 bucks a vehicle to pay for trash removal on the Texas city dike because mexicans dont abide by the rule of "if you bring it in you take it with you when you leave"
Dirty diapers and piles of beer cans just left where they were dropped.

so they are like lots of white slobs too...

 

[Harry Dresden]

I just call em like I see em.

They make keyboards for blind people? Who knew?

....lamest come back ever.

You’re the one who claims an entire race of people don’t litter. Almost as ridiculous as your saying you live off of dividend income.

Whatever makes ya feel better.

Knowing you guys are so obsessed with race that you can’t be honest…and I’m not one of you…makes me feel fucking spectacular.

you mean like your buddy dean is,obsessed with the color of republicans?....

 

[AZGAL]

Thank you Candycorn for a truly thoughtful response regarding how easy it is to experience a sudden life crisis.

 

[candycorn]

I would be willing to bet that Dean doesn’t think that there is a race that does not litter.

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

Obama created jobs for gun manufactures, prison guards and parole officers.

 

[candycorn]

Thank you Candycorn for a truly thoughtful response.

I have them from time to time. They come around like the hale-bop comet.

 

[Harry Dresden]

I would be willing to bet that Dean doesn’t think that there is a race that does not litter.

yea he would say 90% of the liberals dont....and of course just about every republicans does.....

Not to be a total jerk- because you are sort of admitting your mistake here- but when I said - your claim that it couldn't happen in California was just your ignorance and bias speaking- I was clearly correct.

We have all been there. Perhaps a cautionary tale to all of us to a) check the facts and b) think if our posts are perhaps overly biased- before we post.
